Who can forget the tag ascribed to the invasion of Iraq - Shock & Awe! To add to the offensive, whilst the Americans kept a body-count of their casualties, deaths of and injuries to Iraqis were described as "collateral damage". Clearly no one thought, or cared, about the human beings "on the ground" involved in all of this. Robert Fisk [not only a veteran reporter - recognised as one of the last great reporters] having lived and travelled extensively in the Middle East for 29 years, has written a book [to be released shortly]. Fisks' newspaper, The Independant, is presently publishing extracts from the upcoming book. Read the relevant extract describing the night "the Coalition of the Willing" bombed Baghdad.
Old enough to know better, young enough not to care.
